An industrial film about two types of work: socialist and capitalist. A poetic investigation into human relationships with soil and the Earth. An enthralling journey from Poland to Taiwan that makes us think and dream. A cinematic poem in two parts about the world of coal: the part in black and white is about the crew of a coal-powered ship, based on Herman Melville’s The Confidence-Man; the part in colour shows the world’s largest coal power station. A film that invites us to think deeply about the world. Rotterdam Festival 2015.
